← GeographyWhat impact occurs within arid regions when deflation exceeds sediment production?
A)Creation of deflation basins✓
B)Intensified alluvial fan development
C)Reduced desert pavement formation
D)Stabilization of existing dune fields
💡 Explanation
Deflation removes loose material, and if this removal (deflation) surpasses how quickly sediments are produced, deflation basins form because wind erodes the surface. Therefore deflation basins are carved out rather than stable dune states or alluvial fans.
